New powerful EQ for magnificent mixes

Tweet

DMG Audio has released EQuick, an equalizer effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

EQuick is a streamlined, ultramodern EQ built to help you make your mixes magnificent. Fast, intuitive and unbelievably flexible, we’ve packed it with digital functionality. We built its beautiful, clear graph with accessibility and efficiency in mind, and it’ll refine your workflow forever; but don’t take our word for it – test the claim and download the demo! We wanted to play with the idea of the interface; we wondered whether EQ could be made more intuitive, more direct, and how one would go about making an EQ that made the process even faster. EQuality speeds up your workflow because it sounds great, and you don’t waste any time compensating for defects in what it does. For EQuick we wanted to delve deeper into the design of the interface. Perfection is when there’s nothing more to take away, so we started by stripping down the interface to its most essential element – the graph. EQuick has nothing else. We had to work in all the controls (like Range and Shift) that made EQuality so special and we found that we could do that with the graph. Also, we took account of the fact that different people have different size screens – so you can pick your size for EQuick. But we couldn’t do that at the expense of control, so we built the tooltip system that provides you will all the data you need, when you need it.

EQuick features

C64 – de la Mancha releases Basic 64 synthesizer plugin

Tweet

de la Mancha has announced the release of basic 65, a monophonic synth, inspired by the classic 80s home computer, the Commodore 64 and its legendary SID chip.

Building on the waveforms and signal path of this famous chip, basic 65 adds further features and options to take things a step further.

The double arpeggiator allows complex versions of that retro 8-bit game sound and the modulation options inspire experimentation via the mod envelope and 2 comprehensive LFOs. Pulse width modulation, ring modulation and oscillator detune/sync are key ingredients in the signature sound. Throw in some pitch drift, bit drift, a sprinkle of dirt and randomisation and you have a wide range of lofi, chiptune, retro-tastic sounds at your disposal.

This version is the update to the popular basic 64, redesigned from scratch, with many improvements, new features and all new presets. basic 65 was co-developed with sink, who also made the amazing presets.

Basic 65 features

• Monophonic synth in VST format for Windows based hosts.
• 3 oscillators with pulse, saw, triangle and noise waveforms.
• Pulse width can be modulated by envelope or both LFOs [NEW – pwm modulated by envelope].
• Each oscillator can be sync’d to another and/or ring modulated by another.
• Each oscillator has its own ADSR envelope and can be routed to filter individually.
• Resonant filter with low pass, high pass, band pass and notch modes [NEW – notch mode added].
• 2 tempo-sync Arpeggiators in series for complex arp sounds [NEW – 2nd arp, added arp patterns].
• Arp tempo, range and note length can be adjusted [NEW – more tempo-sync options, note length knob].
• Modulation envelope can control pulse width and pitch of individual oscillators as well as filter and dirt [NEW – modulates pwm, cut-off, res, dirt].
• 2 tempo-sync LFOs with wide range of waveforms, including random [NEW – more waveforms, more tempo-sync options, added phase].
• Both LFOs can control pulse width and pitch of individual oscillators [NEW – individual oscillator pitch and pwm].
• One LFO also controls filter and dirt, the other can modulate the depth and speed of the first LFO [NEW – modulates res, dirt and LFO1].
• Envelopes are non-linear and can be retriggered from zero or smoothed on each new note [NEW – separate smooth for amp and mod envelopes].
• Pitch drift models instability with variable depth and frequency [NEW – depth and frequency added].
• Options for 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 bit audio with randomising feature [NEW – added randomising, added 4 bit and 12 bit].
• Developed with SE 1.1, so no problems with multiple instances [NEW].
• 128 presets by sink covering arps, leads, bass, drums and lofi sounds [NEW – all new presets].

Lector – new vocoder effect plug-in for PC and Mac

Tweet

Waldorf has released Lector, a vocoder effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

Robot voices, whispering strings, talking drum loops, rhythmic pads, the resonant ringing of bells, dripping water – the possibilities are all but infinite. With a quick tweak here and there, the Lector turns any incoming signal into novel sounds and effects.

Tremendously versatile, the Lector puts in your hands a sonic toolset for a wide range of diverse applications. Just about anything goes, from distorting the human voice to adding subtle harmonies to lead vocals and getting creative with movie soundtracks. The analysis filter bank splits the incoming audio signal into as many as 100 frequency bands, the intensity of which modulates the volume levels of an equal number of band-pass filters in the synthesis filter bank. The integrated 16-voice synthesizer or an external source provides the input signal for the synthesis filter bank. This lets you do fun things like apply a melody line or chord sequence to articulate vocals or speech.

Lector features

• 3 to 100 band Vocoder.
• Adjustable range of Analysis Filter Bank.
• Adjustable offsets and LFO modulation of Synthesis Filter Bank.
• 3-band Equalizer with variable mid band.
• Individual Compressors for Speech and Carrier signal.
• Voiced / Unvoiced Detector.
• Overdrive (types Tube, Diode, Clip).
• Stereo Chorus / Flanger, 2 to 6 stages.
• Stereo Delay, syncronizable.
• Reverb.
• Sidechain input (VST 3 and Audio Unit).
• Carrier plug-in (VST 2).
• 16-voice Synthesizer (per voice):
  • Polyphonic, Monophonic or Free-Running.
  • 2 Oscillators, waveforms sine, triangle, sawtooth, pulse with pulse width modulation, sample&hold, noise, single and multi sample playback.
  • FM.
  • Ring Modulation.
  • Portamento / Glissando.
  • 1 Filter, types Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Notch (12dB and 24dB), Whitening.
  • 1 LFO, synchronizable, waveforms sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, sample&hold, noise.
  • 2 AR envelopes.

Lector for Windows and Mac (VST) is available to purchase for 199 EUR.
